Malaysiakini : Without mentioning Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s name, Dr Mahathir Mohamad said it is the government leader who should be arrested for sedition.
In the Father of Merdeka, Tunku's own words the evil of Mahathir
He was responding to former Umno lawmaker Nazri Abdul Aziz who wanted the 97-year-old politician to face the music under the Sedition Act for allegedly sowing hatred against the government.
Taking
to Twitter, Mahathir reiterated his criticisms against the government,
whom he has blamed for several venues cancelling the booking for his
public gathering to launch a proclamation on the issues confronting the
Malays.
“This bias against the Malays is a manifestation of the
racism of the government. It is sedition because it is against the
constitution of our country,” he said in arguing that the leader of the
government should be arrested.
Nazri Abdul Aziz
On Monday, Malaysiakini revealed how the former prime minister had taken Anwar’s warning of zero tolerance against those who fan racial and religious flames out of context.
Mahathir
also responded to the opposition who pointed the finger at him for the
security crackdown dubbed “Operasi Lalang” which witnessed more than 100
politicians, activists and others detained without trial in 1987.
Although
the official reason for the dragnet was to prevent racial tensions from
escalating, the former prime minister's critics have accused him of
using the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) to stifle dissent.
“The
parties in Pakatan Harapan had always blamed me for Ops Lalang. But
when it served their objectives, they very gladly accepted me as a
colleague and also as the candidate to be their prime minister,”
Mahathir said.
Otak-otak : The more he talks, the more he is despised by the public, including the Malays. Looks like he has a lot of worries and fear now even at the age of 97! And which he must go all out to 'fight' by hook or by crook. Nevertheless, rakyat won't be conned this time round, Langkawi had shown the way!
